The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about identifying a group of major greenhouse gases, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Greenhouse Gases**: Begin by understanding what greenhouse gases are. These are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect, which leads to global warming. 2. **Identify Major Greenhouse Gases**: The major greenhouse gases include: - Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - Methane (CH4) - Nitrous Oxide (N2O) - Ozone (O3) - Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) 3. **Analyze the Options**: Look at the options provided in the question: - Option A: Carbon monoxide, ethane, chlorofluorocarbons - Option B: Oxides of nitrogen, carbon dioxide - Option C: Ethane, chlorofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide, ethane, oxides of nitrogen - Option D: Carbon dioxide, ethane, chlorofluorocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen - Option E: Ethane, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and chlorofluorocarbons 4. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option A**: Incorrect, as it lacks carbon dioxide and methane. - **Option B**: Incorrect, as it lacks methane and chlorofluorocarbons. - **Option C**: Incorrect, as it contains ethane which is not a major greenhouse gas. - **Option D**: Correct, as it includes carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen. - **Option E**: Incorrect, as it lacks carbon dioxide and methane. 5. **Select the Correct Answer**: Based on the evaluation, the correct answer is **Option D: Carbon dioxide, ethane, chlorofluorocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen**. ### Final Answer: The group of major greenhouse gases is **Option D: Carbon dioxide, ethane, chlorofluorocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen**.
